Alternative energy vehicles

OK, I lied before, this here is definitely the best green energy solution! Who needs to pay for the high price of gas when you have HAY? This  gives true meaning to horse power, even though this is not technically a horse, it is still a a four legged beast pulling… not a cart, but a jeep. Ingenious! Think about it, you get all the luxury of a auto interior without having to worry about gas prices. Now you may have a few new worries such as the price of hay and this may put new meaning into such car issues as “a stubborn transmission” and “engine failure”.

The good news is that with this ride, you literally can coax your engine back to health!

Here’s a really cool car even though the concept sounds a bit far fetched but seems a professor in Japan has created a car that runs on water, talk about cheap, easy attainable fuel.

The company responsible for the car is called Genepax. The hi tech car works by extracting the hydrogen from the water that is poured into the cars tank. Electrons are then somehow released producing electricity to power the motor.

The company does have plans for this concept car with plans to mass produce the water car.

(01:21) Report

Jun. 13 – Japanese company Genepax presents its eco-friendly car that runs on nothing but water.

The car has an energy generator that extracts hydrogen from water that is poured into the car’s tank. The generator then releases electrons that produce electric power to run the car. Genepax, the company that invented the technology, aims to collaborate with Japanese manufacturers to mass produce it.

The Jet Car, yes, unlike others that only look like a rocket, this one is the real deal.

Ed Shadle and Keith Zanghi wanted to break the 800 mph land speed record in the US. So how do you do that… ummm, maybe with a rocket car,

This rocket car is called the North American Eagle and is actually  powered by a 1957 Lockheed F-104 Starfighter’s 42,500 horsepower engine.

The jetcar is not a cheap one to drive. Using 160 gallons of gas a minute, a few minute run can will force you to put your kids, wife and pets to work just to pay your monthly gas bills.

Looks like a cool toy for anyone who can afford it and may have a death wish.

The pair above may have some competition for that land speed record from the Aussie Invader Rocket car. The Aussie invader rocket car is not small. The jet car is 55 feet in length and has a 10 ft. height tailfin…. definitely wouldn’t fit in my garage.

After seeing X-Prize winner SpaceShipOne, McGlashan, “The fastest Aussie on Earth,” wondered if rocket motors could propel him up to speeds of 1,609 km/h. So he called up SpaceDev, the company who provided the rocket motor technology for the world’s first
private-sector astronaut mission. He also enlisted the help of John “Ackers” Ackroyd, the designer of 1983’s land-speed-record-breaking car Thrust 2. They came up a wingless rocket-powered jet fighter on wheels.

OK, not all of us can either afford a jet car nor risk our lives for a few minutes of ultimate speed. Here a a few alternatives…

Strap the rocket to a cheap car and save millions on engineering and manufacturing.

and there is the Baron Margo rocket car which is a motorcycle car that happens to look like a rocket to give you that ultra cool feeling.
